What are solar batteries?

Solar batteries are used to store solar energy. Rechargeable solar batteries can be used in PV systems to store excess electricity generated by the solar system. The electricity can be used whenever required. So even when you are connected to the grid, you can remain “off-grid” and use the electricity stored in the solar batteries.

How do solar batteries work?

When you install a solar solution, the solar panels generate electricity from the sun. This is direct current (DC) electricity. It is converted to alternating current (AC) electricity which powers home appliances, etc. The unused electricity charges the solar batteries. When the sun goes down, or when there is an outage or when you do not want electricity from the grid, you can use the energy from the batteries to power your electronic devices and appliances.

What are the advantages of using solar batteries?

When you connect a solar battery to your solar system, the excess energy produced by the solar panels is stored in the battery. This energy can be used in multiple ways:

  • When the solar panel is not generating enough energy required for the electricity needs of the house, this extra energy can be used.
  • When there is an outage, you can use the excess energy to satisfy your basic power needs.
  • You can also connect your solar panels and the solar battery to the grid. You can fill your battery and sell it to the utility company. If the electricity rates vary at various times of the day, you can use energy from the backup battery when the rates are higher and use electricity from the grid when the rates are lower.
